The storage and transfer of raw chemicals requires special considerations relative to the equipment that come into contact with epoxy resins. Carbon steel is generally satisfactory for pipe and tank construction and will not rust beneath the epoxy resin. Rust occuring above the level of the epoxy and accidentally introduced into the resin may be removed by filters. Epoxy coated steel pipe, aluminum or stainless steel pipe, or epoxy fiberglass composite tubing is used to prevent rusting downstream of the filter.

In particular, excluding air and moisture by nitrogen blanketing and rinsing equipment with an aqueous 0.5% sodium nitrate or sodium carbonate 3-5% solution have been shown to inhibit chloride SCC. To prevent cracking on the outside of insulated pipe, aluminum foil has been wrapped between the insulation and pipe to provide some measure of cathodic protection. 

ALkylamines are corrosive to copper, copper-containing alloys (brass), aluminum, 2inc, 2inc alloy, and galvani2ed surfaces. Aqueous solutions of aLkylamines slowly etch glass as a consequence of the basic properties of the amines in water. Carbon or stainless steel vessels and piping have been used satisfactorily for handling aLkylamines and, as noted above, some aLkylamines can act as corrosion inhibitors in boiler appHcations. 

Shipment, Stora.ge, ndPrice. l-Methyl-2-pyrrohdinone is available in tank cars or tank trailers as well as in dmms. Shipping containers are normally of unlined steel. Rubber hose is unsuitable for handling standard steel pipe or braided steel hose is acceptable. Ordinarily 1020 carbon steel (0550) is satisfactory as a storage material. Stainless-steel 304 and 316, nickel, and aluminum are also suitable. MethylpyrroHdinone is hygroscopic and must be protected from atmospheric moisture. In September 1994, NMP was Hsted at 3.89/kg. 

Methyl bromide, when dry (<100 ppm water), is inert toward most materials of constmction. Carbon steel is recommended for storage vessels, piping, pumps, valves, and fittings. Copper, brass, nickel, and its alloys are sometimes used. Aluminum, magnesium, zinc, and alloys of these metals should not be used because under some conditions dangerous pyrophoric compounds may be formed. Many nonmetallic materials are also useful for handling methyl bromide, but nylon and polyvinyl chloride should be avoided. 

Chlorosulfuric acid attacks brass, bronze, lead, and most other nonferrous metals. From a corrosion standpoint, carbon steel and cast Hon are acceptable below 35°C provided color and Hon content is not a concern. Stainless steels (300-series) and certain aluminum alloys are acceptable materials of constmction, as is HasteUoy. Glass, glass-lined steel, or Teflon-lined piping and equipment are the preferred materials at elevated temperatures and/or high velocities or where trace Hon contamination is a problem, such as in the synthetic detergent industry.

Materials of Construction for Bulk Transport Because of the more severe service, construction materials for transportation usually are more restricted than for storage. Most large pipe lines are constructed of steel conforming to API Specification 5L or 5LX. Most tanks (cars, etc.) are built or pressure-vessel steels or AAR specification steels, with a few of aluminum or stainless steel. Carbon steel tanks may be hned with rubber, plastic, nickel, glass, or other materials. In many cases this is practic and cheaper than using a stainless-steel tank. Other materials for tank construction may be proposed and used if approved by the appropriate authorities (AAR and DOT). 

Examples of the sacrificial-anode method include the use of zinc, magnesium, or aluminum as anodes in electrical contact with the metal to be protected. These may be anodes buried in the ground for protection of underground pipe lines or attachments to the surfaces of equipment such as condenser water boxes or on ship hulls. The current required is generated in this method by corrosion of the sacrificial-anode material. In the case of the impressed emf, the direct current is provided by external sources and is passed through the system by use of essentially nonsacrificial anodes such as carbon, noncor-rodible alloys, or platinum buried in the ground or suspended in the electrolyte in the case of aqueous systems. 

In some service stations, stainless steel or aluminum materials are used for all the filters, pipes and fittings to maintain the purity of the fuel. The rest potentials of these materials are different from that of plain carbon steel (see Table 2-4). 

Many elements are familiar to all of us. The charcoal used in outdoor grills is nearly pure carbon. Electrical wiring, jewelry, and water pipes are often made from copper, a metallic element. Another such element, aluminum, is used in many household utensils. 

The stress intensification factors in Appendix D of ASME B31.3 have been developed from fatigue tests of representative piping components and assemblies manufactured from ductile ferrous materials. The allowable displacement stress range is based on tests of carbon and austenitic stainless steels. Caution should be exercised when using eqs. (la) and (lb) (para. IP-2.2.10) for allowable displacement stress range for some nonferrous materials (e.g., certain copper and aluminum alloys) for other than low-cycle applications. 

The outer shell is normally constructed of carbon steel for economic reasons, unless aluminum is required to reduce the weight. Stainless-steel standoffs must be provided on the carbon steel outer shell for all piping penetrations to avoid direct contact with these penetrations when they are cold. 

Coke is employed for a number of purposes, but the major use is in the manufacture of carbon electrodes for aluminum refining that requires a high-purity carbon— low in ash and sulfur free. In addition, petroleum coke is employed in the manufacture of carbon brushes, silicon carbide abrasives, and structural carbon (pipes, Rashig rings, and so on), as well as calcium carbide manufacture from which acetylene is produced.
